Is THIS the real face of Banksy? Robert Del Naja?, by davievegas on Sept 1, 2016 20:31:04 GMT 1, People continue to work hard to find out WHO Banksy is. Interesting READ and nice topic for discussion as always!

Is it him? Massive Attack star Robert Del Naja, pictured arriving at Banksy's Dismaland in Weston-Super-Mare last year, has been accused of being the guerrilla graffiti star

The hunt for the true identity of Banksy took a new twist today after a member of Massive Attack was named as the artist by an investigator.Robert '3D' Del Naja, the founding member of the Bristol band, has been accused of being the guerrilla graffiti star because art keeps appearing near their gigs.In 2008 former public schoolboy Robin Gunningham was named as Banksy by the Mail on Sunday - and scientists analysing his work also believe it is him.But now investigative journalist Craig Williams, 31, claims the artist could be Mr Del Naja, or perhaps a team of people led by him and linked to Massive Attack who combine their concerts with graffiti.

Mr Williams has plotted Banksy murals around the world and said that on at least six occasions more than a dozen appeared shortly before or after Massive Attack gigs in the same cities over the past 12 years.3D was a graffiti artist in the 1980s and has admitted he is friends with Banksy - but the journalist's new research concludes he may be the artist himself. His band, famous for songs Tear Drop and Unfinished Sympathy, has made millions while Banksy's art sells for at least £500,000 a piece.Mr Williams said it has been the common conception was that the artist was 'plain old public school boy Robin Gunningham'.

He said: 'But what if Banksy isn't the one person everyone thinks he is. What if Banksy is a group of people who have stencilling different locations both at home and abroad? Such a rich body of work done over a decade, across the globe, may allow for the suggestion.'A rumour exists from 2010 that his work that went up around North America was his work but were not necessarily painted by him, but rather by a street team that happened to be following the Massive Attack tour.'And on analysis of his North American work, this makes perfect sense.'

Based on having a secret 7" Banksy, I mean 3D, this story seems completely plausible and definitely true.

Is THIS the real face of Banksy? Robert Del Naja?, by Lroy on Sept 2, 2016 22:46:02 GMT 1, What is funny is That Robert is " a hudge supporter of Napoli " *As my son who wears some ( colored and beautiful ) jersey of the team...This world is small ; why Napoli ?

Anyway Massive is a Great band loved all over the World ! And they played with Neneh, ex Rip Rig..Just two questions, for fun :

Why did Massive cancelled the Masked Ball at Dismaland ? Easy to play with all theses masks ?I recognized the same black nightclubbing " scarf " on a pic with the head of Warhol...

As said Mister Del Naja, " great mates " surely ;-) why they should not be ?! Bristol is the capital of all the good news coming in arts !

Is THIS the real face of Banksy? Robert Del Naja?, by not4thethril on Sept 2, 2016 23:45:44 GMT 1, an interesting read for sure.

‘Some of Joy’s relatives have not been told who her husband is or what he does. Joy does tell people her husband is an artist of some type. She says he does the artwork for cook books and album covers. Banksy has told people he designs the sets for award ceremonies, which explains his frequent absences.’

from the daily mail article about banksys wife.

maybe banksy has a day job touring with massive attack. an easy way to explain his trips across the world and give you legit income on paper.

John D'oh or no? That's a recent theory I heard?

No, Lol, John is a great friend and artist ( he stenciled good at Dismaland ) , but nothing to see.For me , It is Lucy Sparrow, a great artist from an awesome family ( John is his bro ) , and she " Sew Your Soul " ...

Is THIS the real face of Banksy? Robert Del Naja?, by json24 on Sept 3, 2016 19:34:42 GMT 1, Alright here i go; .... 3D-Robert is the second removed step brother of the girl who married Blur-Damon. Damon's mother was adopted/taken in the family by a guy in the states (LA) who in his turn lived a small part of his childhood in Britol next to the Hirst residence. It all fits! That leaves out how the weird solidairy uncle-by-marriage fits in to this story. It is obvious all 4 (Banksy, Hirst, Damon and Robert) know each other. But where does that leave the uncle?

Questions...questions...

Cheers!

PS. Massive Attack are playing their homecoming gig in Bristol tonight, see ya!

He then went to live with his cousin del naja and sent to private school where he learnt stencilling. Had a pet owl?

Is THIS the real face of Banksy? Robert Del Naja?, by Peter Bengtsen on Sept 4, 2016 16:36:46 GMT 1, I have just published a short text on Vandalog about the supposed uncovering of Banksy's identity. It is mainly about the flawed study that came out in March, but also mentions the most recent media speculation.

A longer article on the problems with the geographic profiling study of Banksy is freely available here.

Daniel Silk: The buzz people get at Art Auctions, do you think it’s the same as when they buy during an online print release? Do you think that’s an important part of selling from galleries to create that buzz for the buyers?Sept 13, 2019 2:52:54 GMT 1

withnail69: Mate I will PM you the entire timeline. You're annoying.. What holes are we talking about here.. Someone who has only purchased banksy prints from POW gets royally stitched up. Please tell me about the holes in the story.Seen the photos I posted from 2005?Aug 28, 2019 21:09:57 GMT 1
